Ex-used car salesman Harold Dodge can't resist helping his beautiful co-worker Marianna to retrieve her car from a low-life dealer - a con-man not unlike the 'bird dog' Harold used to be. But what should have been a straightforward exchange begins to get out of hand. When Marianna unwittingly takes a document which could incriminate some of the local mob the misunderstandings and dirty dealings escalate, and Harold finds himself embroiled in a far more dangerous set-up than he ever could have bargained for. Bird Dog is a sharply observed, witty and affectionate look at the absurd criminal underworld of LA from a talent with a real future.
